Yes, the original Swine Flu (the flu that pigs got) began to be crossed into humans (infrequently) even before the Novel H1N1 influenza strain mutated and started to infect people. Farmers and young people who raise and show pigs at agricultural evens spend time in close contact with the pigs and in so doing are capable of catching the original H1N1 virus from them. Now with the Pandemic Swine Flu, it is also possible to give and get that strain of influenza to and from the pigs.

What is the origin of the name swine lu?
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
